mostly in the sound between the coast and the barrier islands where we stay. i've done a little in maine as well but a long time ago. and we did a fair bit of whitewater canoeing when i was a kid. never done any open-ocean kayaking.

8.5 miles is a good amount, especially if you're fighting against the tide or current. we did probably 6-6.5 the other day and most people were wiped out by the end.

- beach volleyball x ~45 mins

- tennis x ~45 mins

absolutely flawless beach day. mid-80s, not too humid light breeze, sunny but with enough high clouds to keep it from beating down.

kayaking soreness not in shoulders but rather wrist extensors and hip flexors. also i cut my hand on the rigging at one point, kind of a gnarly looking scrape actually but it only bled a tiny bit. didn't affect me during tennis, thankfully.

run schedule today. body is like, no don't do it. so i'll go tomorrow. next week is beach anyway so it doesn't matter if schedule gets a little messed up this week.

beach exercise will be tennis, maybe a little running but not going to hold myself to anything, and whatever my family feels like doing w/r/t strength stuff. and maybe kayaking.

- run 10.13 in 50:19
T+DI 168, but turns out clouds and a light breeze make a huge difference. 4:58 average pace, pretty even throughout, and had enough energy to run 4:51 for the last complete km and run the last couple hundred meters at race pace. good stuff

semi-retiring from rugby because of recurrent injuries, taking up a possibly even more violent sport as a replacement...  :ninja:

yeah whenever in my mind i mock you (and other brits) for complaining about temperatures that wouldn't even register as hot in a DC summer, i remind myself that we have A/C and y'all don't.

i give it a few years before home A/C is widespread over there. it uses a shitload of electricity but when the alternative is for it to be 30 degrees inside...yeah. thanks climate change!

saturday

- warm up x 1 km; intervals 400m/100m jogging rest in [1:34, 1:40, 1:39, 1:39, 1:40, 1:37, 1:39, 1:41, 1:40, 1:30]; cool down x 1 km
intervals were at fast tempo pace (i.e. 90-95% of race pace), adjusted a bit for the T+DI. not too challenging. makes a big difference for it to be overcast and under 90/32 degrees, even when it's still so humid.

- stretch

sunday

- run 18.18 in 1:41:36
T+DI 158, so humid. good light long run, though, tired but not wiped at the end. feet soaked with sweat, was squelching a bit the last 4-5 km.

- stretch

mapmyrun weeks are monday-sunday; i ran 58.8 km in that span. near weekly PR territory, can never remember if i've ever actually hit 60 km in a week before.
